PROLOGUE
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4mBmEpRO8
He's shaking underneath my grasp.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz6mJn4KRX
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGPslst8rI
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Hk1P6mA6U
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUrzrJXzsz
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPDGE0AmK6
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nRqe8gv1K
I smile bitterly.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU2br7UwDB
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaQ4SidRwy
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJWQmvqnqr
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaolRt8Tmr
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL9JTkPmnx
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8BlQi9zMM
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FB4CtBTFg
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaOfWaOjuf
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18Zwbtu1J4
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYRgehufgK
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1jzgmxDBI
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKhGxBv3XD
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0917tjtlCM
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgkxoLW8fI
I allow myself to drop my calm charade and panic a little. Jere's forehead is beaded in sweat. The life in his eyes that once blazed brightly is now dark and sullen.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSVkp0BT3R
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqUpwAfDNM
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKmnaZ7r3e
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eD8PkaY5P
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWkGcFt6EI
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxPbDw8Zi8
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbNtTtoWOF
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOMJrehmpF
I must at all cost keep him awake.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrN8QMKjdY
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzFd6KQPqc
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiviq4VTsU
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkpaYncaK9
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr04jTocIRQ
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmXpBFbMay
"Not that long baby I promise."795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Vn2P3xB9I
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nHaKSBWIH
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFs3dr6ACc
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yzxXOhLsV
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy9FHWwwKQ
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf6KcZIHs6
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcvSlFDOV0
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycGfqaTzvD
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRMUL6HCzm
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtHYQeJCAM
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqDRJYUEWr
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbd2ei5ZSzN
I frown at him.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6YuJIlA1s
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddJorOo8Bw
"Don't say that."795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrfCx8a0PQ
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ775JY8ABAG
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxFGIYwxjH
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbLj8r6BXv
I gasp.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL92NhAc3hn
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgQJQFE6LJ
"Jere stop!"795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm5jJwcXQu
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCOfYAr1m2
He goes on.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYePqypIiUg
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQRHOVdz9Q
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhKYxxCdUf
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGYH2IkjOk
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRoj3FrnVj
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxYj6Y0f6S
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp5TVmCD6r
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXnvaHofws
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV73yMIsEut
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEnpz08f2Q
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqORih0g3Cu
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYGzaJWyeu
"I won't."795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTebiES38or
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTwHQ7zmeF
He obeys, watching me soberly.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0fWvSmjHd
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40cno4pCXF
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUwjjDUV3p
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuB3g8euhY
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73s6S75kNL
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUBfrE5NRz
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFIchq8iFm
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iM4tDHbEU
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdplyKIcFUp
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcM78wjyR8
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HwTfVtWqi
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0j0zQHXnI
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZKOPOJJk6
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsgIBsFxUg
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlKaTjAlnI
He tries to nod but he can't.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CMA7kZmLm
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeidKCJ7WS
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZm8LFMZhw
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BCBpaVqQ7
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQYbo1Fglu
He looks up into mine.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qzU9tUrIF
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekasvU9gsj
"Don't leave me." He whispers.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcePsCiNoC5
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2Yr4WWcwZ
"Stay awake." I tell him.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V46TUwatN
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbZOeCD7z9
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJSIrxP6wT
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfKoa9ZXDN
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjDvquArH4
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWWPCCrJN4
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjITb7PBoq
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVATREvRo6
He doesn't reply.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0FHRHOaJL
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lQJEfnKKC
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMmTa68Bak
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGlJsa18cA
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF7kambeEr
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RmIblqGyv
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz68FTdvvJ2
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡue9ZmIkPK0
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9dfuRAiEk
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdMZLzsfI0
"Stay awake." I told him softly.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq4lLQMzVv
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IZjl2KTj6
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV55WQY0Ke
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKJzZN1nbm
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aR3Hy544t
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0EJQF8jwr
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8xJKpPhvN
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E76zreefr
"Kiss me," he repeats.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXPSTqpqf0
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6noLJObvK
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIe3gdqyPC
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqpoJTysuv
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBitgBGRaAw
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SWZ4EavuC
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kkME8Os91
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5eZBvrcYS
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjuKa0oPfY
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DC6XZ8kTg
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOV1gH8SaT
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqqGdmFFG6
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynFrE9MUBw
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa620v0Kd4
Electricity races through me and lingers.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MWWU1e0HO
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnwkV1ODOG
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdsUDbpAsj
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTXZtg58XR
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFULBFsNCap
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8HvxMewgi
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IfwyefiM0
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o20FDynyO
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgxPEZbJfA
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRjZ7HOTlz
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42XJ3n2oRY
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PvN5LLNJF
"Jeremy?"795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlWaop3vPq
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cmJSxirGO
I shake my head, not believing.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR73s9vXTl
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKBN9g2nHs
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxizALItpr
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh30p7syktb
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOdJsOp0kX
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnqDx9qe74
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekoSGdnMGm
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChLYnfQm8c
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me.
